Wasn't planning on watching this but I saw it showing at some wings spot as I was driving by so I strolled in, missed the first round. I had a feeling HC might pull that off and I told the guy sitting next to me towards the end that we might be looking at a split dec. Takedowns won it. Excited for the triology, bar was really into it.

bummed about mighty mouse losing that. i thought he landed the cleaner, more damaging blows, but cejudo just ate them like nothing. for half of his takedowns, cejudo didn't generate a lot of damage, but it was a close contest.

Really liked how DJ handled the loss, he did at least 5 post fight interviews and never made any excuses or complained, Joanna needs to take some notes. DJ said he's likely got two injuries. Rematch with Henry needs to happen next. Can do it in Jan-Feb.

TJ should fight Moraes next, do Cruz-Assuncao, and Cody can fight the loser of Dodson-Rivera. Cruz shouldn't get a jump at a title shot after a dominating loss and a long layoff, sure it would garner slightly more interest but not enough to warrant it.

was there a reason why they didn't stick poirer/diaz as the co-main?

They're on the MSG card not this card. Trying to help that card. Presumably they think this show can draw without any real 'help'. I remember the first DC/Jones fight had an astonishingly weak undercard too.

I don't know how ppv buyrates are counted, when they say a show did 600k buys, is that a total everywhere number or just the domestic? I also don't know how Russia or Ireland get cards? I know in some UK countries, they don't have ppv and get the cards free(guessing basic cable equivalent). Helwani thinks 229 will hit the 2mil mark but I doubt that. It could maybe get near or just slightly above the previous record. They just added a few more fights but nothing special. Putting out a lackluster undercard could end up fucking them if they lose the main event.
